Fast times at 2nd TCA mini-meet

A high number of swimmers turned out for Tuolumne County Aquatics second mini-meet of the summer season on June 25 at Sonora Sports and Fitness Center.

Not only did the event draw a large number swimmers, but also a multitude of parent volunteers. Many fast times and team records were set by 49 competitors.

Fourteen-year-old Sam Slater led the way for TCA by breaking a seven-year old record. Slater swam the 50 freestyle in 25.89, breaking Allie Freer's 2006 record by .26 seconds. Slater also topped her personal best in the 50 backstroke.

The TCA swimmers will compete in two more mini-meets this summer. The athletes' hard work will be showcased at the beginning of August at the TCA Invitational meet and end of the summer meet will draw over 250 swimmers to the Sonora Sport and Fitness pool for the two-day event.
